[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH, OSX, Libtool, Macports

That is interesting, FS is running on a Mac Mini and is in 64 bit mode according to Activity Monitor. I did not add anything to the config flags. I am only using tools from Apple (XCODE 4.2) and never had this problem since I installed FS Oct 2010. I had updated 10.6, XCODE and FS several times and no issues. Keep in mind that the Mini was a clean install of 10.6 (from Apple) and it is primarily used for PBX. I never put anything else on it other than the FS prerequisites mentioned in the wiki and this post. I wonder if something was left over from previous attempts as FS installation. I have multiple machines and am stuck on Leopard due to Quicken (still too buggy), since I waited this long I thought I may as well wait for Mountain Lion and do a clean install of everything on that.

I remember reading on another thread that nowadays you should not mess with the compile flags when running ./configure since the process auto-detects what you need. But still, is there any reason to force compile FS in 64 bit or 32 bit mode for OSX?

I have an old imac that is not doing much, but I don't think it will run 10.6 :(   I will try and give it a shot this afternoon seeing as my girlfriend is out taking photos :)

Now I can play round all I want. If all goes well, I just restore to the Mini, if not I can start over. For frequent updates I just backup the FS bin and source in the Mini with and do a git pull, etc....

I wrote the original FS osX wiki but there are some differences since 2010 (I am working on fixing the wiki in the next few weeks). The wiki install instructions work if you add the following.
